Looking at the sports car driving away, He Lele only felt a warmth in her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Friends are for relying on.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yes, she still had friends. When she fell, there were still friends who would help her up, so... she must stand up more firmly to be the self she liked, the self her friends liked!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ji Jie, do you have time? I want to talk to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Group hugs and group kisses!!!!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thousands of words all boil down to that one sentence~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you everyone!!

The afternoon sun shone on Ji Jie, who was wearing a simple white suit, as if it had draped a layer of transparent light wings over him, making him look like a proud prince guarded by an angel.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Planting a kiss on He Lele's forehead, Ji Jie sat down beside her, his long arm naturally resting on her shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Rong Qingfeng looked for you? What did you talk about?\" Ji Jie asked while flipping through the menu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ji Jie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Mm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...I'm sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Looking at the side profile of the girl beside him, Ji Jie didn't speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I lied to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...Since you lied, why not lie to the end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry.\" He Lele slowly turned her head to meet his gaze, her eyes clear and frank. \"I said I would try to love you, but actually I intended to... use you to avoid Mr. Shentu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Enough. I don't want to hear this. There are a few new movies out recently, want to go see one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ji Jie.\" He Lele picked up the Western-style knife from the table, held it in her left palm, and pulled it quickly with her right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You, you're crazy!\" Ji Jie grabbed He Lele's left hand and pried it open forcefully; a long, blood-red wound was clearly visible on her palm, bleeding outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hurriedly wrapping the wound with a handkerchief, Ji Jie raised her hand and pulled her toward the door of the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You crazy woman!\" Ji Jie cursed as they walked.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Walking outside the restaurant, He Lele stopped. \"Ji Jie, thank you. Thank you for being anxious and heartbroken because I was injured, and for being angry because I hurt myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Heh... actually, I'm very afraid of pain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If it hurts, why did you cut yourself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It hurts when my hand is broken, but do you know? When I was forced and had no power to resist, it hurt ten thousand times more than this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Looking at the handkerchief on her hand that was rapidly being stained red, Ji Jie gritted his teeth and said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Goodbye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She turned away before his eyes so lightly, leaving him without a care, and he—why were his legs like lead, unable to take a single step? Why was his throat like it was being throttled, unable to make a sound!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Come back! Don't go! He'll change, whatever she wants him to change, he'll change! Come—\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When He Lele turned back, what she saw was Ji Jie's expression, which was on the verge of tears yet carried surprise. It was the first time she had seen a man look so childish and fragile, which made her feel something strange in her heart, and even her tone softened significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Xin× Culture Media wants you to return their call; it should be about the voice acting. I'll text you the number later. Bye-bye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After He Lele left, Ji Jie stood at the entrance of the Western restaurant for a long time, until the notification sound of a text message rang in his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Little Wildcat Who Gets Angry Easily: Xin× Culture Media contact number: ×××××××.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Muse Building.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Having just finished the shareholders' meeting, Shentu Mo handed the documents to Lin Qi and took out his phone to make a call.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Where are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Finished with the meeting?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Come back immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Shentu... I want to take a proper vacation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ji Jie took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. \"Also, don't touch her again, unless... she is willing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>November 11th, a new era festival that started who knows when—Singles' Day. At first, Singles' Day was just a festival that passed with everyone joking around, but in recent years, it has become an online shopping carnival. Major shopping malls and physical stores, in order to compete with e-commerce, have started activities and promotions early, and part-time job advertisements are posted everywhere on university campuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The biggest discount of the century, limited time 90% off, men's clothing, women's clothing, children's clothing, if you grab it, it's yours! Don't miss the opportunity, it won't come again!\" At the entrance of a shopping mall, several promoters wearing mascot costumes were jumping around happily with megaphones. When they saw parents with children, they would tease them, leading the children to chase them to the outdoor children's clothing stall. Many young girls would even pull the mascots to take photos, and laughter filled the bustling street.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Rilakkuma! Haha! So cute!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Mom, is the bear a boy or a girl?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wearing the Rilakkuma mascot costume, He Lele was very skilled at making cute movements, occasionally triggering bursts of laughter. This was her favorite part-time job—ever since she discovered that wearing a mascot costume meant her phobia wouldn't trigger even if everyone was looking at her!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Every gaze directed at her contained a smile, and every smile was so beautiful and cute. Doing this kind of part-time job for a day, she could be happy for a long, long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, today seemed a little different.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele scratched the back of her head—of course, she couldn't reach it, and the silly action made a crowd of old and young laugh uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She just felt like something was wrong today.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dessert shop on the third floor of the mall.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Sir, I'm sorry, it's not convenient to smoke here.\" The waiter advised politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ji Jie took the cigarette from his mouth, but his right hand kept opening and closing the lighter lid, making a light metallic friction sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His gaze passed through the tinted glass, quietly watching the Rilakkuma that was incredibly cute in every move.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>I don't know how long it had been, when a child in the crowd started crying loudly, seemingly separated from his parents. The atmosphere at the mall entrance suddenly cooled down, and parents hurriedly pulled back the children who were surrounding the mascot.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, his little wildcat walked over and turned off the recording of the megaphone.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Gong sa ma ni ga, han ji ba yi so, a ba gong, ou ma gong, ai gi gong. A ba gong mu...\" A Korean children's song familiar to everyone played from the megaphone. The pleasant singing voice combined with the mascot's cute dance moves immediately stopped the crying child, and the children pulled by their parents also learned the mascot's movements and danced cutely.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ji Jie unknowingly raised a smile just like those parents, and as soon as the lost child was taken away by his parents, He Lele immediately played back the passionate promotional advertisement recording, accompanied by passionate movements, making the customers who reacted burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He almost forgot, his little wildcat had always been very conscientious...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hello, is this Ms. Zhang? This is Ji Jie. Regarding yesterday's proposal, I am very grateful, and it is an honor to participate in this production.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He didn't go to the follow-up audition, so the voice acting for the second male lead naturally didn't fall to him, but the Japanese voice acting director specially invited by Xin× appreciated his tone and style and suggested he voice the fourth male lead.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He intended to give it a try.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It seems like it's been Ji Jie's scenes lately? Fortunately, it's almost over~~~\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Poor L... *Cough cough*~~ Sending Lele over immediately...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>☆, (10 Fresh Coins) Chapter 227: Anti-Wolf Spray\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What should we do? Lele, what should we do!\" Ren Lingyu shouted while flipping through the art book, feeling conflicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele shook her head with a smile and continued to eat the fruit from the fruit platter.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It's over, I've fallen in love with him again!\" Looking affectionately like a fan at Qin Zhixiu, who was as pure and perfect as a top-tier gemstone in the art book, Ren Lingyu slowly leaned in with her red lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"*Cough cough*!\" He Lele coughed twice to remind Ren Lingyu to pay attention to her image.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hehe! Reveal it, at that time you two... um? Did you or didn't you?\" Ren Lingyu raised her eyebrows, flipped the art book with a lewd look, and faced it toward He Lele.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele took one look and quickly averted her gaze. \"Alright!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hehe! If only you were really with Qin Zhixiu, I truly don't like that Du Wei.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...But, it is precisely that Du Wei you don't like who accompanies Qin Zhixiu when he has no one, and acts as his family when he craves family affection.\" He Lele said quietly. She had looked at his photo album from childhood to adulthood at Qin Zhixiu's house the night before. It was a thin book, and in nearly seventy of the less than one hundred photos, Du Wei was present, far more than the photos of Qin Zhixiu with his parents. These photos made her understand that no matter what Du Wei had done to Qin Zhixiu, or what she was about to do, except for Qin Zhixiu himself, others... indeed had no right to point fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ren Lingyu pouted, noncommittal, and continued to flip through the art book.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele was eating fruit leisurely, planning to go shopping or play video games after Lingyu finished looking at the art book, but... the strange feeling struck again. He Lele looked around. She hadn't felt very comfortable for the past two days, as if she were being watched from the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Lingyu, let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As soon as the two walked out of the restaurant, He Lele felt a sense of suffocation. The familiar feeling made her extremely vigilant. When she saw a man in a trench coat and sunglasses, with one hand tucked into his chest, walking toward them, she subconsciously grabbed Ren Lingyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Are you Ren Lingyu?\" the man in sunglasses asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I am, who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Author's Note:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Author's Note:\u003C\u002Fp>",1758,"2026-06-14T03:55:59.415Z","2026-06-17T08:39:51.626Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d836f4025ecf745d10c200de9950d82305daf34aae2ae0e6e74ed86db8c6308c","the-ultimate-men-s-apartment-chapter-211","the-ultimate-men-s-apartment-chapter-209",301,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-ultimate-men-s-apartment-cover.jpg"]
